Any sufferer of acne would probably snap your hand off if you could give them a cure for this skin affliction. Unfortunately, though, so far there is no be all and end all cure for acne. However, there are numerous treatments that are the next best thing, whether you’re the typical teenage sufferer, or of more advanced years.

One of the most popular methods around at the moment is the rather aptly named acnezine. Recommended for adults and teenagers alike, it works by using antioxidants that cleanse your skin from the inside. With the added bonus of keeping any inflammation under control, as well as minimizing any redness around the infected area, this is one of the most effective methods you can use.

Another highly recommended product is a clear gel called Acne Spot Gel. With many users commenting that this is like having an actual cure itself, it’s applied to the skin, at which point it penetrates the surface. Working in a similar fashion to acnezine, it also attacks the pores that have been blocked with either oil or dirt. By forcing this waste out, it leaves the skin feeling clean and refreshed. Combined with the fact that it’s an oil-free solution, the pores remain clean and significantly clear from the signs of acne.

A more natural method of fighting acne is from a wheat and barley derivative called azelaic acid. Available in cream form, it has a powerful combination of not only antibacterial elements, but also an exfoliating effect and anti-inflammatory agents. This helps it to prevent any future problems once the initial acne has cleared up. Since it uses a gentler approach, it’s a good method for those who have sensitive skin.

Even something as simple as your every day diet can be as preventative as a cure itself. By avoiding fatty, greasy foods like burgers and deep-fried products, and maintaining a healthy balance of fruit and vegetables and cutting down on the amount of sugar intake you normally have, this can have a dramatic effect on the acne even beginning in the first place.

One of the more recent breakthroughs, even going as far as to claim it’s the holy grail of a cure, is in the area of holistic acne treatment. There are now books that you can buy that describe this alternative to the more traditional approaches, as well as online guides. What holistic treatment does is look at how a person’s emotional state can bring on an acne attack.

Stress is suggested as one of the major factors in whether a hitherto blemish-free person cam fall victim to this common but annoying skin complaint. Hormones are also discussed, as well as other less common issues.

Although acne can be a distressing problem for anyone who suffers from it, there are advances in treatments being made all the time.

Despite there not being an actual acne cure at the moment, it surely won’t be too long before this problem is a thing of the past.

In the heart of Tuscany: an exclusive place to regenerate body and spirit while immersed in both the nature and history of this splendid region. To find wellness and energy in the most pleasant way: natural medicine, aesthetic medicine, thermal baths, mud, massages, physiotherapy and much more.

The land on which the Hotel Terme di Pitigliano sits was known since antiquity for the beneficial properties of the waters that comes forth from its springs. Some researchers, basing their studies on some objects dating back to the 4th century AD that were found in a cave nearby the Hotel’s park, assume that the inhabitants of these lands knew of the phenomenon much before the Etruscans or the Romans.

The first sure known use of the thermal waters goes back, though, to Etruscan-Roman times: belonging to that period are some terracotta objects (votive offering), testifying to the presence of a temple linked to the curative properties of the waters which sprang up from the underground and filled the natural basins formed by the travertine.

During the “Romanization” period, characterized by the construction in the area of numerous villas and of “Pagi”, small rural settlements, the exploitation of this precious natural resource was started with the construction of small canals and with the building of a true thermal center.

Very recent archeological digs at the edge of the park are bringing to light the remains of that ancient thermal construction. With the end of the Empire, the use of the thermal center also stopped, but the hot waters were used up to the mid 20th century to fill the basins used in the maceration of hemp in the process of manufacturing rope.

The new thermal center at Pitigliano proposes very high-quality spa programs that are ready to meet the most demanding needs: from the achievement of psychological and physical balance, to detoxification from daily stress, all the way to aesthetic programs and physiotherapy.

Each day high level professionals and specialized doctors take care of the guests by devising personalized programs for them, and adapting treatments to a holistic notion of well-being which focuses on the person’s wellness and interior balance.

As truly alternative methods, the majority of the treatments fall under Natural Medicine practices which are also sensitive to environmental sustainability.

After the treatments, guests can regenerate the mind and the spirit with thermal waters that have a sulfuric-bicarbonate-calcic-magnesic component and spring up at a temperature of 34°C. Moreover, all of this happens in a natural outside setting of rare purity which generates a beneficial relaxation by means of all the senses.

Hotel Terme di Pitigliano is located in the heart of Maremma, in a particularly fertile land that is steeped in history. Protected by the hills, and away from the bustle of city life, this exclusive Tuscan wellness center combines the traditional concept of curative thermal baths with the more modern spa concept where one can achieve mind and body balance.

Guests will be surrounded by a very professional medical staff who is highly trained to provide the best care and who is aware of all the client’s needs: the programs offered in the thermal center of Pitigliano are especially designed to meet all sorts of needs and requirements.

The thermal complex consists of 28,000 sq m distributed over a 10-hectare thermal park area, in a pristine environment with old rural homes in complete harmony with the landscape, with vineyards that from Etruscan times have been producing excellent wine, and with olive groves yielding the fruit for the very fine grade extra-virgin oil.

The establishment is made up of 3 buildings, with the first one exclusively used for thermal treatments. On the main floor of the other two buildings, you will find the hotel’s reception, lounge, bar, restaurant, and meeting room, as well as the wellness center and other thermal treatments, while rooms are mainly found on the floors above. “La Favisa” Restaurant, is indicative of the highest quality found here, capable of meeting the needs of the most refined gourmets, with a natural vegetarian cuisine for those who want to enjoy themselves yet want to remain fit. In the park you will find two thermal pools, one reserved exclusively for those staying at the hotel and the other reserved for outside visitors, with a maximum capacity of 300 clients per day with Bar, Cafeteria, locker rooms, and bathrooms.

The rooms of Hotel Terme di Pitigliano were designed to provide guests with a feeling of wellness and relaxation : rooms are spacious, done with light colors, with furnishings with clean lines, natural fabrics, and high quality materials.

The atmosphere found in the rooms is in tune with the spirit of this prestigious Thermal center of Tuscany where every detail has been studied to create an overall balanced and pleasant experience.

The hotel offers 18 double rooms, from the Smart Nest which are inviting and cozy, to the Precious Nest, each with exclusive comforts such as telephone, ADSL, mini bar, satellite TV, and safe. In addition, elegant junior suite and marvelous large suites are available, perfect to enjoy a unique and memorable vacation.

Want to break free from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, why not take an Ayurveda retreat?

You don’t have to be an ardent fan or enthusiast to try out one of today’s most popular alternative health and wellness practice. Ayurveda traces it roots to India going back 5000 to 10000 years ago, where ancient sages and rishis practiced this craft to treat and heal patients, both being adopted by the rich and poor alike.

Ayurveda is the traditional natural system of medicine of India that has been practiced for more than 5,000 years. The literal Sanskrit translation for Ayurveda means the “science of life” or “practices of longevity”, which is practically the focus of Ayurveda towards health and wellness. This was the system of health care developed by ancient Indian seers and natural scientists through centuries of observations, discussions, experiments and meditations.

For thousands of years Ayurvedic teachings were orally passed on from teacher to student and around the fifth to sixth century BC, scribes wrote down elaborately detailed texts that were written in Sanskrit, which was the ancient language of India.

What made Ayurveda popular was that it was very dynamic and made use of natural and commonly occurring and producing plant and mineral products and flourished among the rich and poor alike in India and after several hundred years, was able to spread throughout South -east Asia.

Early manuscripts detailing Ayhurveda cam from Atharva-Veda, the earliest Indian historical text which existed approximately around 1500 BC and provided detailed medical information and became one of several Vedas – or “knowledge” – upon which Ayurvedic medical practice is based on.

According to the historical manuscripts, Ayurvedic manuals were written by Charaka, Sushruta, and Vagbhata which classified and enumerated detailed descriptions of the various Ayurvedic practices.

Charaka listed no less than 500 hundred remedies and Sushruta over 700 vegetable medicines and over time, the practice of Yoga also became integrated with the Ayurvedic practice for holistic and general well- being. Ayurveda focuses on the prevention of disease, the rejuvenation of body systems, and promotes longevity.

With Ayurveda currently gaining widespread popularity and awareness in the western world, the practice is currently rising up to a level of professionalism and awareness that continue to promote the discipline to benefit those seeking alternative treatments and health programs. Many Ayurveda clinics are operated and managed by highly- trained professionals in the science and although it was originally tied with Sanskrit religion and Indian religious practices.

Ayurveda is also one of today’s most popular traditional medicinal practice, since a large number of southeast Asians depend on this traditional practice as primary health care.
Even a number of pharmaceutical companies continue to produce commercially successful Ayurvedic ispired medicines that are still being used today and continue to enjoy continued and widespread use for medicine, supplements and general well –being.

Currently, there are dozens of Ayurveda clinics all throughout the United States, offering individual treatment packages or even retreat packages that offer holistic treatment for those seeking a good weekend or even a whole day being pampered with natural Ayurvedic treatments and massage.

So why not take an Ayurveda retreat and try out for yourself one of the most popular traditional and effective traditional medical practice that has been in existence for thousands of years.

Let’s start out by looking at what hyaluronic acid actually is.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring biopolymer, which serves important biological functions in bacteria and higher animals including humans. Naturally occurring, hyaluronic acid may be found in the tissue of higher animals, in particular as intercellular space filler. HA is found in greatest concentrations in the vitreous humour of the eye and in the synovial fluid of articular joints, but is also found in the skin, connective tissue and elsewhere in the body.

Hyaluronic acid was made ‘famous’ by an ABC News report in which Connie Chung visited a Japanese village by the name of Yuzurihara. She found that the people there were living longer, looked younger, and were more flexible and active than their western counterparts. These Japanese villagers, in their 80s and 90s, have smooth wrinkle-less skin, a full head of hair and apparently no need for glasses.

So what is it, that allows these Japanese to be so much more youthful, lead active, productive lives at their advanced age, where as in western countries most people in their 80s and beyond are in old-age homes?

The conclusion drawn in the ABC report was that these people ate ’sticky vegetables’ and that this factor was the secret to their apparent youth. In addition, the oestrogen-like molecules in their diet, fermented forms of soy in miso paste and tofu, seem to play an important role. These molecules, along with natural oestrogen, send a signal to the fibroblast cells to make more hyaluronic acid. But is this the whole answer? – I don’t think so, but I’ll get to this a little later.

Next, let’s look at what Hyaluronic acid does.

According to scientific research by a variety of Universities and researchers, hyaluronic acid is used in the human body to cushion and lubricate joints, eyes, the skin, and heart valves (see http://www.ctds.info/hyaluronic_acid.html for an in-depth look at all the different diseases, syndromes and conditions). Some treatments, which involve the use of hyaluronic acid include: treatment for osteoarthritis and other joint problems, as well as a range of eye disorders, retinal detachment, and some cardiovascular disorders.

However, it is in the anti-aging effect on the skin that we are focusing on in this article and the effect hyaluronic acid seems to have on the skin is at the level of promoting the formation of collagen. These are the fibres that firm the skin. Now, hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down collagen fibres, is produced by free radicals and UV radiation.

These factors breaks down fibres of collagen can cause premature wrinkles and sagging of the skin. Focusing on hyaluronic acid, it would seem reasonable therefore, that reducing the free radicals is a major key to reducing the hyaluronidase enzyme and secondly to promote normal levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin.

Plant substances known as bioflavonoids, contained in foods such as grape seed extract, blueberry, cranberry, citrus bioflavonoids and milk thistle, etc., inhibit the production of hyaluronidase, which helps to achieve the first aim of reducing the free radicals. In addition, reducing processed foods from our diet, increasing the level of exercise and living a more balanced life style will help in promoting natural levels of hyaluronic acid in our system, not just in the skin.

When considering injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin to treat fine lines and wrinkles, we are once again loosing sight of the holistic approach to treating our bodies and thus run a serious risk of introducing factors, which may lead to side effects or other health problems. Further, we also run the risk of creating an imbalance in the chemical composition of the skin and who knows what possible problems await us as a result.

Some known side effects of hyaluronic acid injection therapy for aging skin include:

• swelling
• infection
• redness
• tenderness
• acne
• lumps
• tissue hardening
• unknown risks when used in combination with collagen

These side effects are serious enough to reconsider using injection therapy of hyaluronic acid as an anti-aging treatment for the skin.

Remember too, that the people in the Japanese village do not use injection therapy… They life an holistic life style incorporating unprocessed foods and physical activity together with a balanced mind-set and life style.

So where can you get a holistic source of hyaluronic acid from?

There are a couple of ways. The first is from “starchy root vegetables” such as the ones mentioned by the village doctor in the ABC report which include: Satsumaimo, a type of sweet potato; Satoimo, a sticky white potato; Konyaku, a gelatinous root vegetable concoction; and Imoji, a potato root.

These vegetables help the cells of the body to thrive and retain moisture. Further, they keep joints lubricated, protect the retina of the eye and keep the skin smooth and elastic by promoting collagen.

Another source of hyaluronic acid, for non-vegetarians, is to eat animal parts known to contain a lot of hyaluronic acid. You could make a broth from fish bones. That is, once you’ve taken off the fillets, boil the rest of the fish, including their head and make a fish stock. Similarly, you can make a meat broth using animal joints, sinews and tendons, then adding a few root and other vegetables to create a healthy, nourishing soup.

In conclusion, at Wildcrafted Herbal Products we do not believe that adding isolated ingredients in elevated concentrations to our natural skin care products is a preferred option. Rather, using a holistically natural approach to skin care and for that matter health care is a far more preferable option.

Skin care is as much about taking care of your skin as it is taking responsibility and care of your overall health and wellbeing. Your skin is not an isolated part of your body and should not be treated as such.

Again I would like to remind you of the Japanese villagers – they do not inject themselves with hyaluronic acid, they do not use hyaluronic acid in isolation, they do however life a healthy, active and mostly balanced life style.

Of the three forms of Mesothelioma, Pericardial, Peritoneal, and Pleural, there is no way to determine which is the most aggressive or the most destructive or the most vicious form of Mesothelioma. Pleural Mesothelioma, which attacks the lining of the lungs, is the most often diagnosed. Peritoneal Mesothelioma is when it attacks the lining which encases the internal organs. Pericardial Mesothelioma is Mesothelioma of the lining of the heart.

Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive, deadly form of cancer that is only known to be cause via exposure to asbestos. Asbestos related illnesses can take anywhere form ten to forty years before announcing themselves with symptoms of illness. Pericardial Mesothelioma often presents with symptoms which include shortness of breath, chest pain, heart palpitations and a persistent cough.

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer, and the treatment options available for patients are like any other form of cancer. The problem with that is that most patients do not respond as well as most other forms of cancer. Mesothelioma victims typically only survive maybe two years after diagnosis, with others not surviving nearly that long.

Pericardial Mesothelioma can be treated with chemotherapy, radiation treatments, palliative therapies, and surgical procedures. Each treatment option presents its own set of negative side effects which may or may not complicate the symptoms of it.

When treating Pericardial Mesothelioma with chemotherapy, a chemical concoction known to kill Mesothelioma cancer cells is introduced into the body. This chemical cocktail then attacks the cancer cells which are causing the Mesothelioma. The chemicals also tend to strip away the body’s immune system. Treating Mesothelioma with chemotherapy is also known to cause severe nausea, vomiting, weight loss, the loss of hair, fatigue, and sometimes mood alterations which lead to irritability.

Treating Mesothelioma with chemotherapy often does not prove to be aggressive enough, and radiation therapy is also introduced into the treatment regimen. Radiation therapy is the directed attack of radiation into the affected area in hopes of killing the Mesothelioma cancer cells. Radiation therapies are also known to weaken the immune system and create fatigue and illness. Often using chemotherapy in tandem with radiation therapy leads to destroying what quality of life the Mesothelioma patient has left without successful results.

Surgery is not a treatment option for Pericardial Mesothelioma. Pericardial Mesothelioma is very difficult to treat because it has been deemed unbeneficial to attempt to remove the cancer from the heart. Pericardial Mesothelioma patients do not qualify for heart transplants because there is a great risk of cancerous cells being spread throughout the additional mesothelium. Most Pericardial Mesothelioma patients do not live long enough to wait out a transplant list even if their overall health qualifies to be on the list in the first place, which unfortunately is very rare with Pericardial Mesothelioma.

Pericardial Mesothelioma is the rarest form of it. It is difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat. Pericardial Mesothelioma is often not diagnosed until treatment options are severely limited.

There are alternative options for treating Mesothelioma in conjunction with traditional methods, such as nutritional and lifestyle therapies, counseling, massage therapies, and holistic approaches to dealing with the vigorous side effects of the traditional treatment options. Alternative therapies and treatments have mostly only been effective in alleviated the discomfort and depression that is typically associated with Mesothelioma and its variable treatments.

The deadly nature of Pericardial Mesothelioma is grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit. Mesothelioma is the result of negligent exposure to asbestos. The long term exposure to asbestos creates the malignant cells in the protective lining of the internal organs, which over the course of decades, causes it. Mesothelioma in any form is typically deadly with a remarkably low survival rate.

The fact that companies who were responsible for the asbestos exposure were completely aware of the health threat which they were introducing to their employees makes it that much more deplorable. Victims and their families are well within their rights to file lawsuits to provide for their medical expenses, receive compensation for their pain and suffering, and to provide a secure financial future for their families. Mesothelioma wrongful death lawsuits are one of the only ways available to hold big business accountable for their blatant neglect. Many victims consider their lawsuits as part of their overall Mesothelioma treatment plan, allowing them to reclaim their dignity and have their voices heard. The crime of asbestos exposure should come with much more severe penalties, but for now the only recourse that victims have is th filing of Mesothelioma and wrongful death lawsuits.

A third of couples are having trouble in conceiving. Infertility problems are twice as common now as previously thought. Billions are being spent on fertility treatments but only 47% of women go on to have a baby following expensive and emotionally draining treatment. Its not hard to see why couples are seeking more natural infertility treatments.

Reasons for infertility in women can include conditions such as endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes and polycystic ovaries, conditions that affect the womb and ovaries. Men have problems with quantity, quality and motility of sperm.

Whilst some of the women’s problems can be treated surgically many women are seeking and finding success in more natural approaches to increase fertility.

A holistic practitioner specializing in infertile couples will rule out other factors that can prevent
conception such as viral, bacterial, parasitic and yeast infections, allergies, poor food choices,
underweight or overweight, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, other metabolic problems, extremes of temperature and work and life stresses.

Many factors that cause infertility, miscarriage, complications of labor poor health in the newborn child can often be resolved with a specialized detoxification program.

There are more toxins in our environment today than ever before. They come from many everyday sources. Your drinking water may contain lead, aluminum (aluminium), copper and synthetic estrogen. Outdoor pollution, indoor pollution, radiation, household cleaning products, chemicals in food, chemicals in personal care products, dental amalgams are but a few of the things that place a tremendous burden on your body and deprive it of nutrients.

Resultant deficiencies of zinc, manganese and magnesium are very common amongst couples whose hair is analyzed for mineral deficiencies.

Ideally couples should start detox programs and lifestyle changes a year before they plan to conceive but in practice people rarely plan this far in advance. A minimum of 6 months should be allowed to correct underlying health problems, correct deficiencies and reduce the toxic burden.

As well as affecting your ability to conceive toxic chemicals are passed to your baby during pregnancy and breast feeding. The future health of your child is determined before birth.

Up to 78.4% of couples diagnosed as infertile have healthy babies compared to 22.6% with IVF with a holistic detox program. Specific herbal and nutritional combination blends are available for both men and women seeking alternative infertility treatment and they have been successfully used by couples to improve fertility.

<b>Here are some basic guidelines that will help you detox to improve your fertility: </b>

Avoid the following: 

* All packaged and processed foods including white bread, white flour products.
* Alcohol
* Caffeine
* Street drugs and other drugs unless vital.
* Dairy products unless organic (contain hormones and hormone mimicking chemicals)
* Wheat
* Chocolate and cocoa
* Condiments (i.e. ketchup, relish, barbecue sauce, soy sauce)
* Trans and hydrogenated fats such as those found in shortening, margarine, and processed oils
* Peanuts (often contain moulds and toxins)
* Processed meats
* Salt, in excess
* Shellfish
* Soft drinks ( usually full of refined sugar and additives)
* Sweeteners: refined sugar/white sugar, brown sugar, fructose, high-fructose corn syrup, honey, maple syrup.
* Feminine hygiene products
* Excessive use of hot tubs for men
* Tight underwear, cycle shorts, swimwear.
* Toxic chemicals including household cleaning products and sprays.
* Lubricants or douches that your partner may be using.

But do these:

* Start each day with a cup of boiled water and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
* Drink at least 8 x 8 oz glasses of filtered water a day.
* Replace fatty foods with lean organic or free range proteins, and eat these with every meal.
* Increase fresh fruit and vegetables and fresh vegetable juices
* Have regular meals to keep energy stable.
* Eat last meal by 8 pm to allow to fully digest before bed.
* Use cold pressed sunflower, safflower, hemp or flax-seed oil on salads and vegetables but do not heat. Use only olive oil or butter for cooking
* Eat live organic yogurt at least 3 times a week.
* Get some light exercise away from traffic and polluted areas every day.
* Try to get a good night’s sleep.
* Get a hair mineral analysis done at a reputable lab and be guided by a nutritionist or doctor with an interest in nutrition for a corrective supplement program.
* Alternatively take a good quality multivitamin and mineral supplement rich in calcium, magnesium, zinc and vitamin C.
* Men may need to take additional supplements such as Lycopene 6.5 mg per day, Arginine 4 grams a day, Vitamin E 100-200 IU a day to improve sperm counts.

It is known that the body has remarkable healing powers given the right conditions. Improving nutrition with some positive lifestyle changes have worked wonders for some couples who have chosen alternative infertility treatment.

You are on the verge of making a big decision. Should you attempt to pass your stones with a gallstone natural remedy or should you permanently remove an organ, the gallbladder. As you look at both options, I would suggest exploring as much as you can about both treatments.

Though both gallbladder surgery and a gallstones natural remedy are considerably effective, one treatment is simpler, more affordable and better for your body longevity (your lifetime health).

Natural Health- Is it Legit?

If you live in a developed country, you know the newest rave in health circles is natural health. However, there are still many people who think that natural health would be considered a ‘quack’. With this stigma, most people and doctors do not even consider natural treatments as an option for our health. But, research is now showing that numerous natural remedies are just as effective as many synthetic medications and surgeries. Not to mention healthier for your body!

To understand natural health, you must realize that natural health cures deal with treating your problem ‘holistically’. Treating an ailment holistically simply means treating the ‘whole body’ as opposed to one specific area of the body. The whole premise behind holistic treatments/natural remedies is your body is one complete organism and affected by many parts. And instead of treating the one part of the body; you would treat the whole body as one whole system.

Let me explain why a gallstone natural remedy would be labeled ‘holistic‘.

The Gallstone Natural Remedy

Health education teaches us that your body needs proper nutrition, proper vitamins, sufficient hydration, adequate physical activity, and literally hundreds of other conditions to be healthy (physically, mentally, and emotionally). With this said, your body is controlled by several factors to make it work most efficiently and effectively. And the body will also be able to repair itself if giving the proper means to control these factors.

And in the case of gallstones, the body requires a simple body flush to cleanse the liver and gallbladder. And if you think about it, do you think God created a body that can only be healed while lying on a surgical table under the hands of an over-priced surgeon who will cut out an organ? No, the body is actually more miraculous than it gets credit for because in the case of gallstones; gallstones can most often be passed with no knife and no removal of the organ.

Gallbladder Surgery- Is it worth it?

I have never met a person who doesn’t think the body is a pretty amazing thing. Even Einstein was vexed at the intricacy of the human body. Yet, modern medicine finds that some body parts are not needed for proper body functioning. More specifically, many doctors believe that surgically removing the gallbladder is the only option to treat gallstones.

Do you find it a little leery to remove a body organ?

And most doctors prescribe three types of surgery: laparoscopic gallbladder surgery; open gallbladder surgery; and needlescopic (or mini-laparoscopic) surgery. All three surgeries usually eliminate the gallstone pain immediately. But needlescopic surgery has become the more popular option because of the simplicity.

However, losing your gallbladder can do drastic damage to your body years down the rode. Gallbladder surgery patients have experienced everything from heightened cholesterol levels, constant diarrhea and even bowel cancer. And in some cases, these complications can lead to death.

Is there a better option?

Flush Your Gallstones Today!

You want a treatment that works and I don’t blame you for being ‘overly skeptical’. I am the same type of person. But what if I told you that you can flush your gallstones in 24 hours with a simple gallstone natural remedy that is guaranteed to work.

If you are remotely interested to hear how thousands of gallstone sufferers have passed their gallstones naturally and have kept their gallbladder, please visit our website today and see how our company is a leader in natural health.

There are numerous holistic sources that claim to be healing cancer with varying degrees of success. A few of these report success greater than 90 percent of the time. I have spent years researching and finding the best information available, and have compiled a list of the most important considerations relevant to cancer. I present here a distillation of these factors, as well as a brief exploration of some approaches that would be more likely to fail so these can be avoided.

This article will cover four basic areas:

• How and Why the FDA has Failed Us.
• Holistic Options that Fall Short.
• Comprehensive Holistic Treatments.
• A Note on Allopathic Cancer Treatments.

How and Why the FDA has Failed Us:

If cancer can be treated so effectively using holistic means, then why isn’t the allopathic medical establishment using such methods and showing greater success?

As many of us know, the EPA and the FDA have failed us when it comes to cancer. It’s no wonder that one out of three people are expected to get cancer some time in their lifetimes. Such an outrageous statistic is only possibly due to gross levels of corruption in our government.

It is now common practice for pharmaceutical industry executives to gain top posts in the FDA where they are then able to make critical decisions affecting the industry that they are charged with regulating. Then, a couple years down the road, they are offered high-paying positions back in the same industry that they just helped through their post at FDA. The implications of this blatant conflict of interest are obvious. One example of many is that of Michael Taylor who had been a Monsanto attorney before going to work for the FDA. During his time at FDA, he contributed to creating a new FDA policy that deemed genetically modified foods as “generally regarded as safe”, or GRAS. He also wrote the policy exempting biotech foods from labeling. Following his time at FDA, he went back to work for Monsanto – no doubt in a very lucrative position. Searching Google on “FDA revolving door” (without the quotes) turns up 28,900 results.

Consider: We know that money corrupts and that people will do outrageous things for money and power. These things go without saying. With all their science and research:

• Why don’t doctors tell their patients about how cancer loves an acid environment and cannot survive in an alkaline environment? Why don’t doctors tell patients to stay away from acid-producing foods and focus on alkali-producing foods? Why not give people lists of these foods?

• With all of the science and research, why don’t they tell people that cancer loves sugar?

• Why don’t they tell people that cancer thrives in oxygen-deprived cells? Why don’t their protocols work more with oxygenating the cells and blood?

• Why don’t they tell you which vitamins and supplements inhibit cancerous growth?

Just imagine, for a moment, if a cure was found. Imagine the possibility that there are currently very effective holistic treatments. If they came into wide usage, imagine:

• All the research grants that would go out the window.

• Think about all the expensive diagnostic and treatment equipment in doctor’s offices and hospitals that would be rendered useless.

• The loss of revenue to doctors and researchers who use such equipment, and the manufacturers and sales people who sell them.

• The many expensive surgeries that would end.

• The sales of many life-long prescription pharmaceutical drugs would end.

How much money are we talking about? Treatment for one person will typically cost between $80,000 to $160,000. The medical industry represents one-seventh of the total United States Gross National Product at one trillion dollars per year with revenues associated with cancer reaching $400 billion annually. Is it any wonder that holistic options are off the table? The cancer industry cannot make a dime off of broccoli and carrots and vitamins and healthy people. A healthy person is lost profit.

“But nobody today can say that one does not know what cancer and its prime cause be. On the contrary, there is no disease whose prime cause is better known, so that today ignorance is no longer an excuse that one cannot do more about prevention.”

- Nobel Prize Winner Otto Warburg in a meeting of Nobel Laureates, June 30, 1966

Holistic Options That Fall Short:

There have been a number of books that suggest that the cure for cancer is one key factor, such as using specific nutritional supplements effective against cancer or an herbal cure for cancer. Using only herbs to cure cancer may not be the right answer for the same reason that I would not limit my own treatment to a single homeopathic option. The reason is simple. Alternative cancer remedies typically only give you part of the picture and fail to address the underlying causes of cancer.

Regardless of whether one is talking about stage three breast cancer, lung cancer, or prostate cancer, an herbal remedy or a homeopathic cure for cancer may do precious little to shift the pH (i.e. the alkalinity) of the body, and precious little to eliminate the toxins accumulated in the body that gave rise to the cancer in the first place. Further, if you kill the cancer cells, but you are still eating a diet consisting primarily of acid-producing foods, and you do not cleanse the body of accumulated toxins, then your cancer is likely to come back again.

Comprehensive Holistic Treatments:

To be most successful, any cancer remedy must address the underlying causes of cancer. Holistic Cancer Cures can be highly successful – given that one follows a protocol with a proven track record of success.

There are a wide array of factors that support or promote cancer that should be avoided. Nothing here should be ignored. A few are obvious, but several are unknown by most people. Knowledge is indeed power. So read this with an open mind and get ready to reclaim your health.

The best holistic cancer treatments should include three primary and essential considerations:

1) Cancer thrives in an acid environment in the body and for the most part cannot survive in an alkalized body. So an alternative treatment for cancer must inform you fully on acid-producing foods and alkaline producing foods so the pH of the body can be shifted away from acid and toward a healthy alkaline state. And this is easy to do because there are many lists of acid versus alkaline producing foods to be found on the internet.

But again, that’s only part of the story. Consider – if the body is full of toxins – many of which are acid-based, then it may not be possible to alkalize the body sufficiently without also addressing the next two steps:

2) Any holistic cancer treatment worth its salt will inform you of the many sources of toxins in our food and water, and how to best avoid them. And this brings us to the third element of your journey to healing cancer.

3) Treating cancer must address how to cleanse the body through use of a variety of detoxification products to eliminate accumulated toxins.

So again, natural cures for cancer are incomplete without these three elements. But with them, it can truly be said that healing cancer with a holistic approach is typically successful. This includes even advanced cancers, depending on, for instance, the degree of damage to vital organs and the person’s age.

On my website, I offer a document that provides details on the above three factors, as well as:

• A link to the best cancer diet to follow, which will, for example, discuss foods that are high in fungus and molds, foods that are genetically modified, which cooking oils to use, and much more.

• A list of supplements that are effective against cancer.

• A link to the best alternative cancer treatment website where you’ll find well more than 200 specific alternative cancer protocols that have a proven track record against many, many forms of cancer. This website will give you detailed information on things like contraindications, other relevant safety information, and much more.

• Details on approximately twenty of the most common and impactful sources of toxins in our society, as well as specific research and links for each to help you understand why you need to stay clear of them. Toxins can come from unexpected sources. Examples include non-stick cookware such as Teflon; plastics in touch with foods and drinks; microwave ovens, which transform foods in dangerous ways; municipal water which typically contains chlorine and fluorosilic acid – a highly toxic industrial waste product passed off as fluoride to help children’s teeth; genetically modified foods; common artificial sweeteners that turn into formaldehyde in the body; MSG, which is now in abundant supply in fast foods and hidden by using more than 15 different names; and even plastic shower curtains which outgas a huge amount of toxins.

• Information on the best products and means that I’ve been able to find over the years to help you limit your exposure to these dangers.

A Note on Allopathic Cancer Treatments:

People would do well to remember what the cancer establishment refers to as ‘terminal’. In my opinion it typically means that in their paradigm, they have no good answers for you. This document, with its sources, has much better answers – ones that won’t bankrupt you.

The FDA likes to restrict the use of the words “cure” and “heal”. Now, if what is happening is that people’s cancers are going away and these patients are finding health and vitality – then perhaps to call it anything other than a healing would be inaccurate. Cancer patients are using holistic approaches and finding health. That’s a reality. The sources sighted in the document available for download on my website speak for themselves.

I speak to you as one person to another. It’s up to you to look at the evidence here and on my website as well as that presented by your doctor to make up your own mind for what is right for you. This is your opportunity to take responsibility for your own health.

I am convinced that the holistic approach is much more effective than the toxins of chemotherapy, radiation, pharmaceuticals, and toxic and acidic food being promoted by the mainstream allopathic path. It is my understanding that the holistic path, using specific protocols, achieves healings above 90 percent where the allopathic world knows something closer to 30 percent. That’s a guess, for now. So if you want one-third the chance of healing and a path that bankrupts you and leaves you sicker by the month – go allopathic. If you want three times those odds and a path that strengthens you each step of the way, then go with this document. One other important consideration – the allopathic path does nothing to address the underlying causes of cancer in the first place. As a result – if you continue eating the same foods and exposing yourself to the same toxins, your cancer is likely to come back again a few years down the road.

Chemotherapy along with surgery is traditionally the most common form of treatment for breast cancer. However, recently, holistic treatments have become more popular. The reasons for this are many, but the usually, it is because the patient doesn’t want to endure chemotherapy or surgery, or feels there is a better way to combat the disease.

The Problem Of Traditional Breast Cancer Treatment

Modern medicine claims that if the cancer is caught early enough, breast cancer treatments like radiotherapy or chemotherapy can help the patient lead a long and active life. However, it has been proven that if chemotherapy is used too soon, it may actually shorten the life of the patient.

Another risk of modern medicine is using mammograms as an early diagnostic tool, rather than preventative. Mammograms will sometimes give false positives and leave some women enduring treatments, only to find out later they may never have had cancer at all.

When mistakes happen with traditional breast cancer treatments, harmful side effects may shorten, rather than prolong a patient’s life.

Getting Help By Alternate Therapies

Serious heath problems such as breast cancer are being treated more frequently by holistic medicine. Holistic therapies go beyond the traditional remedies that only treat mainly the body. Holistic medicine also treats the mind and spirit as well. It is important to note that, even though you may experience fewer side effects with holistic medicine, you don’t choose to forgo traditional medicine, but add holistic practices to it.

Also, it is important to remember that just as there are side effects of chemotherapies and other types of medical treatments, there are side effects to using holistic breast cancer treatments as well. However, there have been many studies done that show patience frequently live longer than what doctors had estimated they would.

Women fighting breast cancer may seek out holistic therapists to detoxify her body. The therapist would use Naturopathy to detect certain toxins in the body. After this, kinesiology is employed to check the body’s energy fields. After checking these two items, the therapist can put together a course of treatment that will revolve around natural remedies.

There are many types of detoxifying programs that may be used during breast cancer treatment. One is to cleanse the liver and involves black walnut, wormwood and cloves. There are also detoxifying programs for the mind to help patience achieve a better emotional state.

Holistic therapies help by ridding the body of deep-rooted toxins; also by treating your mind so you can better fight the disease of breast cancer. When a patient is first diagnosed with cancer, it can lead to fatigue and stress within the body and mind. Once you can focus on the treatment, your chances of beating cancer increase. It is important to keep mind body and spirit in good health.

Seeking breast cancer treatment from a holistic therapist is perfectly all right as long as you don’t forgo traditional breast cancer medicine. While holistic treatments may take away some of the symptoms traditional medicine have, it should not be a substitute for medical advice. Keeping your mind calm will help in receiving treatments.

Summary:

Holistic therapist shouldn’t be used in place of medical breast cancer treatment, but it can help treat your emotional needs that will make your overall state of being as well as helping with the side effects such as vomiting and nausea. Sometimes, holistic treatments will prolong a patience life, some times by years.
